Moceanu was the youngest member (14) of the 1996 Gold Medal Olympic 
Team and finished ninth in the all-around competition. With the new 
minimum age rules, she is assured of retaining the record for being the
youngest U.S. gymnast ever to win an Olympic gold medal. When she and 
her teammates appeared on the Wheaties cereal box, she became the 
youngest athlete ever to receive the honor. While she is the youngest
member of the 1997 World Championships Team, she has the broadest range
of international experience among the USA women. She earned the only 
USA individual medal (silver on beam) at the 1995 World Championships 
and had the highest USA all-around finish. She vaulted from Junior 
National Champion in 1994 to Senior National Champion in 1995, becoming
the youngest Senior National Champion in history (age 13). At age 10, 
she was the youngest athlete to ever to qualify to the U.S. Junior 
National Team. Her first international all-around title came at the 
1995 Visa Challenge. She was USOC SportsWoman of the Month for April
and September '95. A nominee for the 1995 Sullivan Award, honoring the 
USA's top amateur athlete, she received the McDonald's 1996 Break 
Through To Be Your Best Award. Her goal after gymnastics is to be 
involved in sports medicine. Her Romanian-born parents came to the U.S.
in 1980; both were competitive gymnasts -- her father, Dumitru, was on 
the Romanian Junior National Team and mother Camelia was a Level 10 
gymnast. Her younger sister, Christina, also is gymnast. Dominique 
speaks fluent Romanian. Before moving to Houston to train with Bela 
Karolyi, the family lived in California, Illinois and Florida. 
Dominique was featured on the cover of Vanity Fair in 1996 and 
appeared in a Kodak TV commercial. She has a book, Dominique Moceanu: 
An American Champion, on the market. Her family owns Moceanu 
Gymnastics INC., a club in Houston.  Which opened offically on May 31st
1997.
